Reviews

One of the finest edited collections I have encountered in animal history: fascinating, readable, and accessible. It will be appropriate to use with undergraduates as well as graduate students.--Ann N. Greene, Department of History and Sociology of Science, University of Pennsylvania

Featuring original work by scholars based in North America, Europe, and Africa, <i>The Historical Animal </i>examines each of these world regions, as well as Latin America .Wildlife, animal performers, and work animals dominate the collection, with meat animals and companion animals playing supporting roles .To the credit of the essay authors and Nance alike, the essays remain approachable to general readers even as they demonstrate the growing scholarly significance of animal history.--Thomas G. Andrews H-Environment, H-Net Reviews
